<p dir="ltr">With never before seen footage, ‘Antarctica’ brings you to the farthest reaches of this wild and majestic continent. It is the coldest, driest and windiest place on Earth with the roughest oceans, and yet, weird and wonderful creatures thrive here in astounding abundance. This immersive dome experience uses the latest underwater filming techniques and will let you swim alongside playful seals, soar above mountain peaks and vast penguin colonies and witness the largest congregation of fin and humpback whales ever filmed. </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://realideas.org/whats-on/antarctica/">8, 14, 22, 28 January @ Market Hall, Devonport</a><br /></p>

<p dir="ltr">At once hilarious and horrifying, lyrical and absurd, ordinary and apocalyptic, White Noise dramatises a contemporary American family’s experience in this ambitious, comic look at human relationships. Noah Baumbach delivers a thrilling, genre bending adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel with Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig taking the lead as a married couple attempting to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world. Joined by an all-star cast playing family, friends and co-workers, Driver’s anti-hero finds himself on a journey to conquer his crippling fear of death, with some very unexpected results.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://plymouthartscinema.org/whats-on/white-noise-15/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">4 - 10 January @ Plymouth Arts Cinema</a><br /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Curated by talking on corners,‘Ritual Touch’ brings together three artists for the first time, creating new conversations to which you are invited. Central to the exhibition is the materiality of touch and the significance of time and rhythm in the ritual of creating. Monica-Shanta, Gladys Paulus and Ingrid Pollard share a quiet depth to their practice, calling on rhythmic traditions, rooting human presence and interaction in the natural world. A combination of mixed media installation and assemblage, the artists collapse historical and personal pasts, bring to the fore a resonance of being imbued in the objects through touch.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://mirrorplymouth.com/whats-on/ritual-touch">From 27 January @ MIRROR, Arts University Plymouth</a><br /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Growing up in the small town of Lostwithiel, Cornwall, Rue made a name for herself by conquering the local gigging scene whilst completing a BA (Hons) Contemporary World Jazz. She’s been making waves in music since her first EP release ‘Blinkers’ in 2017, having pushed her sensational vocals, impressive fingerstyle guitar playing and beautifully nu-soul inspired songs all across the UK.
